Mexico’s Sheinbaum: No Migrant Caravans Have Reached US Border Since Trump Took Office

Sheinbaum's claim is notable less as a migration statistic than as a rhetorical move: it reframes the tariff pressure as leverage over a problem she says is already resolved, shifting the burden of proof back to Washington. This matters most for Mexican exporters and the broader tariff-exposed trade relationship, where immigration enforcement and trade policy remain explicitly linked. Whether that linkage persists—and whether the absence of caravans is accepted as sufficient to ease tariff threats—is the open question worth watching.
